Hi Folks I have been working on a site (www.polytechnic.wa.edu.au) based on repoze.bfg running on app engine for the last few months.
(I don't do visual design I just make it run). It uses bfg-pages (http://code.google.com/p/bfg-pages/) for zpt templating and appengine datamodel traversal so that it can reflect large amounts of the plone structure. All of the custom entities used are designed in Enterprise Architect and the python classes and interface definitions are generated directly from the UML model. Beaker is used for session management middleware with a custom plugin to put sessions into memcache. Formish is used for the few forms we use in appengine (mainly site configuration and our own concept of actions and portlets for appengine) Content is authored in Plone (running on EC2) which is then pushed from plone to appengine. Course data is extracted from a SQLServer database and pushed into plone where it is annotated and then published to appengine All content is indexed on solr (also running on ec2) for searching from appengine (appengine doesn't have any text search capability worth mentioning) . We had a few teething problems in the last week where our production instance's performance was being affected by things happening inside google. Which turns out be a known problem (for google engineering that is ;-) In the last 24 hours we moved all of the data to a new instance and all seems well so far (fingers crossed).
